They do Taifun tofu, fresh vegan pasta & ready made vegan pizza bases with the tomato sauce on them in the big one in Brighton. I also buy my canned artichoke hearts & pre-made breadcrumbs there. You don't like sweet stuff but if you did the Lazy Days Millionaires Shortbread & chocolate extract would be must buys.

I get canned pumpkin in my Waitrose. And seconded the fresh vegan pasta and Taifun. Their Organica chocolate and Doves Farm flour is cheaper than my local health food shop. If you're feeling extravagant, their own brand veg root crisps are v nice, and they have nice vanilla extract and lavender sugar and things in the baking section. (I don't really find it works out more expensive than Sainsburys on the things I buy regularly, plus they're a co-operative.)

Heh. There is a lot of crepe rootbeer being sold in the UK. A&W is everywhere, but it's not good. This other brand (the name of which I seemed to have blocked out) with an American flag on the can is such vile swill that I can't believe no one has sued them for pain and suffering. :)

I've had it once… it's nasty. I think it must be one of those things that is delicious if you grew up eating it (Marmite, baked beans, butter*, Vimto), but otherwise tastes like sadness.

* My mum told me it would make us fat so we never had it in the house. Consequently, I really don't like the taste.

This, I remember going to McDonalds in the early 80's (it was still a bit of a novelty then) when they had root beer on the menu. I tried it because I heard about it (probably from Stephen King) and subsequently wanting to tear my tongue out by the roots.

Mat.

well i have a local supply of Goose Island root beer, proper imported brewed stuff and it's delicious, a million miles removed from A&W or that carter's muck they sell in asda. bundeberg is okay, but nowhere near the best.

Ooh. Goose Island. I used to live about a mile and a half from where they brew this, in Chicago. Yum.
